Lexmark X2500 driver is missing OCR software

When I go to the Actual LEXMARK support site... Their driver is missing the OCR, (ability to scan & recognize text)

The driver instalation disk included with the printer is missing it as well.

HOW do I find downladable software for the OCR?

    Thank you very much.... I actually own the original CD that came w/ the x2500 when I bought it. So I'm thinking it may have been a free trial?



    Anyway, thanks again for your help!

Sometimes companies only support only the basic drivers. The OCR software is on the CD (s) that came with the printer. Suggestion. Try to order the original CD from Lexmark., or search Ebay for programs that have OCR capability. You can use OCR programs from other vendors as long as they are stand-a-lone programs. Just make sure you have the original disc so as not to infringe on copyright privileges.

Note: you can buy OCR programs. Check Ebay and Amazon. They are usually better that the programs that come on the OEM disk.

Cheers.

Trying to scan to computer and it says download ocr software from cd i moved and have no idea where it is how can i get it?

OCR stands for Optical Character Reader and the software is generally part of the original installation. If your machine will not function without it you can visit Lexmark's support site (link below) and download the software that originally came with your printer.

Need my scanner but i misplaced my cd installation cd.

Here's the link to the Lexmark website for the available Lexmark X2500 drivers. http://bit.ly/axy5n7. Click on the Microsoft or Macintosh dropdown found below the page to choose the version of your computer's operating system. Download and install the software. Then try to scan. If computer's going to look for the OCR, it can only be installed using the installation cd. If that's the case, I suggest you contact Lexmark Technical Support to request for that. They can send you one for free. Thanks.

Scanning with lexmark x2500

This is a function of the optical character recognition (ocr) software, not the scanner. Most scanners have bundled software that include ocr and retail ocr software is available. Good quality originals are necessary to minimize the amount of manual corrections and the ease of making those corrections is what you want in the ocr program or you end up better off retyping a document if 100% accuracy is required. Graphics are a consideration when scanning mixed documents so don't rule out cutting and pasting those separately if necessary in Word. Take the time to master the software if this is a common task for you keeping in mind that better software usually merits the extra cost if it saves you time. Don't neglect the scanner settings for resolution as the software works only as well as what you present it to recognize. A Google search on scanning will help you on specific tasks as there are whole books on this subject. ~Steve Medley
